Initially billed as L'usine or Lusine Icl, his early releases for labels like Isophlux and Hymen often consisted of intricate, pinprick beats and bright, expressive melodies, while also exploring downtempo hip-hop and glitchy techno. After moving to Ghostly International and shortening his name to Lusine, he produced his most accessible work, emphasizing abstract yet danceable beats on 2004's Serial Hodgepodge and incorporating a greater presence of lyrics on subsequent releases like 2009's A Certain Distance and 2017's Sensorimotor. 2023's Long Light explored glitch-pop as well as ambient post-minimalism.
